Stan Van Gundy might try his hand at meteorology. Because he sensed the perfect storm coming.
Or a most imperfect storm, more like it.
“I’ve been at this a long time and it was pretty predictable that we weren’t going to be ready to play,” he said about Sunday’s loss to Philadelphia in which the Pistons trailed 32-12 after one quarter. “I should’ve known better.”
Van Gundy was going to give the team either Saturday or Monday off with their next game not until Wednesday at Dallas. Given the late arrival from Minneapolis after their win there Friday, he opted to take off Saturday.
